This is a highly original work that combines two paths in an inspired way: that of medicine itself, in its struggle against suffering, disease and death, and that of a medical student in his quest for knowledge. In doing so, he manages to move, inform and entertain readers at the same time.
The history of medicine is a fascinating story, full of heroic, inspired, and also tragicomic moments. On the other hand, learning medicine is a transcendent experience. The talent of the renowned writer and doctor Moacyr Scliar combines these two paths in a text that will be unforgettable.
